STUDIO. In the center of the room sits an easel with a bizarre
unfinished painting of a bird-faced man on it. As the adventurers
enter the room, they will hear a sickening wet noise, as the painting
comes to life and crawls out of the canvas. It has the body of a man
and the head of a bird, but is terribly incomplete. The skin is
absent, displaying exposed bone and muscle. The right arm and leg
are just stumps, but the left hand is instead a bird-like claw. The
thing will shuffle forward to attack, screeching horribly.

2-9 and bite for 2-5, Size M, xp 136)
As
it strikes characters, its exposed veins and arteries will burst,
leaving red smears on their bodies, that will later prove to be made
of red paint. If it is killed it will dissolve into a colorful smear
on the floor.
A
palette with dried paint lies on the floor and a stool stands before
the easel. A table along the east wall holds pigments, brushes,
mortars and pestles. Although some of the paraphernalia is usable,
all of the inks and pigments have gone dry. The walls are made of
irregularly shaped stones fitted together and the floor is yellowed
wood. Two large glass windows are here, overlooking the first floor
garden, and sunlight pours in.
